Delhi-Inspired Governance Model Proposed for Islamabad

The federal government is considering introducing a Delhi-style governance system in Islamabad, which would establish a metropolitan framework with a stronger role for elected representatives. The plan aims to shift administrative powers from bureaucrats to a mayor-led setup, enhancing local governance and accountability. Inspired by India’s capital model, the proposed changes are expected to streamline service delivery and empower the city’s local government, pending legal and structural adjustments.
